Just The News: House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy says he has reprimanded freshman GOP Rep. Madison Cawthorn for not telling the truth when he made claims earlier this month about receiving orgy invitations from fellow lawmakers and alleged the use of cocaine among his colleagues.
McCarthy, a California Republican, made the statement after meeting Wednesday with Cawthorn, of North Carolina.
He told reporters that Cawthorn’s story changes with each retailing and that there was “no evidence” to support his claims.
The top House Republican also said Cawthorn’s actions were “not becoming of a congressman.”
“There’s a lot of different things that can happen. But I just told him he’s lost my trust. He’s going to have to earn it back. I mean, he’s got a lot of members very upset,” said McCarthy, amid questions about whether the 26-year-old will be formally punished for his allegations, according to Politico.
In a podcast interview last week, Cawthorn described the “sexual perversion that goes on in Washington,” suggesting that he had been invited to an orgy and seen lawmakers take “key bumps” of cocaine. more here
In other words… The first rule of Congress is: You do not talk about Congress. The second rule of Congress is: You DO NOT talk about Congress!
Cuz… McCarthy wuz there… along with Cocaine Mitch, right?
“Not becoming of a congressman?” OK, Mr. McCarthy, when will you reprimand yourself?
Fake But Accurate, as they say.
Yep, McCarthey is upset because he is GUILTY as hell.
Look, he’s lived with Frank Toupee Egghead Luntz!
He didn’t tell the truth because there were other assorted treats as well….heroin, psychedelics, X, assorted pharms, and a cornucopia of underage treats from which to sample their carnal delights. \s
Uh, the Congressional track record is rife with exactly what McCarthy is pearl clutching over. Cawthorn can cite scriptural chapter and verse, including the Commandments, about bearing false witness. Who you gonna believe?
You guys are going to kill me but…
Any chance Palin or Noem were there?
(I got a thing for their looks.)
SO, HOW DID WE GET STUCK WITH MCCARTHY AND HOW DO WE RID OURSELVES OF HIM BEFORE THE NOVEMBER RED WAVE, IMPEACHMENT OF BIDEN, RETAKE/REDIRECTION???
OF COURSE, I’M ONLY FANTASIZING
🙄
Cawthorn did not kill himself.
Kev is working hard to elect “d”‘s!
GOP will NOT win a landslide!
McCarthy is a swamp jellyfish.
He’s going to have to earn it back. I mean, he’s got a lot of members very upset,” said McCarthy,
Translated to say: He’s got a lot of members scared $hitless that their names are going to be brought up. However….. another side of me says: He’s paralyzed from the waist down, what could he possibly do at an orgie? Never been to one, but I would assume you must be really mobile. So, no names, it didn’t happen – and prove it. Very bold accusation.
The first thing senior members of Congress do when a ‘junior’ member arrives is find out what will corrupt them.
Nuke it from orbit.
You guys are going to hate this, but cawthorn is a punk on two wheels. Yeah, I said it.
Cawthorn should name names. Otherwise he’s just hot air.
This, of course, means Cawthorne absolutely told the spot on truth.
So McCarthy knows what all 435 member of the house, and all there staffers are up to, 24/7/365, so he can categorically state that Cawthorne is lying? What a schmuck. I don’t know much about Cawthorne, but I know enough about McCarthy.
^^^their, not there. I hate autocorrect.
Say mccarthy can we get the names and amounts doled out from the congressional sexual harassment slush fund?
It was real in his mind!
RINO bastard. He needs to be gone. Paul Ryan the second, if you asked me,,, in other words, A worthless bastard.
If we let Kevin McCarthy becomes Speaker, we might as well call back that corrupt idiot Boehner for the job.
Some years ago some Member spoke out against corruption.
The “leadership” demanded that he “name names” of the corrupt.
He declined (of course – it would have been a death sentence) so the “leadership” declared that the House was devoid of any stain of corruption.
Where would corroboration of an invitation to an orgy come from?
Where would corroboration of cocaine snorting come from?
ONLY from the participants! DUH! And McCarthy is well aware of that.
Verbal legerdemain to deflect negative attention from that fetid, corrupt body.

Who invites a wheelchair bound dude to an orgy ? Sorry , have to say it . At some point in the event someone is gonna have to …aw nevermind , no way to say it without sounding mean . Lt. Dan partied down in Mexico though in “Forrest Gump ” . Whaddoanoh …not much . Plus Cawthorn seems pretty straight laced .
Bos’n,
I understand that Larry Flynt was “invited” to many orgies while in prison.
(it was always “his turn in the barrel”)
Don’t know if it’s true or not.

When I was in the military if someone was accused of drug use, they were tested ASAP. Why don’t these Congressmen piss in a cup?
